The Audi Fashion Festival returns for its third run with a strong lineup of top international designers and Asian content.
Missoni, which is known for its unique knitwear of flattering cuts, presented its Autumn/Winter 2011 collection and the crowd was wow-ed by models strutting their stuff – with an eclectic mix of candy sweetness and patchwork biker boots.
Angela Missoni, the Creative Director of Missoni, said: “I wanted to have this more sharp edge, because the girls are like fairytales and I want them to be like real girls of today with their feet on the ground so I put them on biker boots at this point, so there’s this contrast, very feminine but being today’s girl.”
